Porsche did their own private â€˜Ring runningâ€™ in three of their different spec-911 2009 models. What we didnâ€™t expect is for them to release those results to us during one of their press events.

A 2009 911S fitted with Porsche’s new twin clutch system (PDK: Porsche Doppelkupplung), Porsche Active Stability Management and “sport tires” took the top place, scoring a 7:50. The new PDK shifts a whopping 60-percent faster than the old Tiptronic S.

The first place position was followed by what is assumed to be a 2009 911S with a manual transmission some eight seconds back, and then a 2008 911 S another four seconds back, at 8:02. There’s no word on who was driving the cars, or what exactly counts as a “sport tire.”

According to FastestLaps.com, Walter Rohrl did a 7:49 in a 997 turbo two years ago. The Cadillac CTS-V did the thing in 7:59 – and so did the C6 Corvette that puts the current Porsche to bed and is an A-pillar away from the 2009.
